A Cougar Trapped.

A correspondent of the Butte Miner
gives this lively description of the catch
ing of a mountain lion: He had killed
and eaten number of calves belonging
to a we'll known cattleman. He was
caught in trap made by bending down
a springy sapling, TO which was attached
a moose arranged to catch the first prowl-
er that would tackle the bait The trap
was set by some. cowboys, and next morn
ing they were awakened bya series of ap-
palling yells, and fastening to the trap,
witnessed very unusual scene. The
cougar had been caught by the right paw,
and lifted into the air when the trap was
sprung. 4 fallen tree lay close to the
sapling, several feet above the ground
On this the cougar stood erect, his right
paw being stretched above his head by
the tension of the rope. He was bowling
at frightful rate After he was lassoed
by the cowboys, and taken down, his
claws were cut and he was so securely
gagged that it is now quite safeto pat him
on the back.

The Great Strike Ended.

PHILADELPHIA, December 29.-The ex-
ecutive committee of the Reading rail
road employees assembled early Tuesday
morning. After secret session which
lasted several hours they decided to lift
the great strike on the Reading system.
special telegram from Reading says:
The strike has developed the existence of
an unpleasant sentiment between the
knights of Labor and the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers The latter. it
is reliably stated, offered to furnish all
the men that might be needed to take out
trains. There are 175 engineers in this
city and vicinity. All the Brotherhood
men were discharged by the former pres
ident of the Reading railroad, Franklin
B. Gowen, and their places were taken by
non union men, who now belong to the
Knights of Labor. The latter were then
known as "scabs," and for long time
there was bitter feeling in the commu-
nifty against them, especially as the riots
during the strike of 1877 in this city re
suited in an attack by the 4th regiment.
in which about a dozen men were killed
and seventy-tive or eighty wounded. The
families which suffered and their sympa-
thizers have never forgotten the men
who took the places of the Brotherhood
engineers. All the engineers employed
on the Reading railway prior to the trou-
bic of 1877 are being heard from. They
desire to return to their e first love y and
are anxious for revenge.

Lewiston Well Satisfied.

1t seems there is emusic in the air"
over the change of the northern termi-
nus of the Montana Stage Company's
line, which took effect couple of weeks
ago. Benton has discovered that a stage
line that taps the Judith country is
almost as important as a railroad from
Saint Paul, and to get one and lose the
other is a "stand off" the "head of naviga-
ton" does not enjoy. An effort is being
made, we understand, to compel the
stage company to return to its old route,
making Benton the terminus as before,
and E. e. Corbin, superintendent of the
line, was in town Tuesday getting sgners
to a remonstrance against the change.
Now, the people of this section are not
antagonlstic to either place, but we want
all the stage lines we can get. We want stage
lines that will make the quickest time to
and from the railroad. People in this
section who have business at Helena do
not care to visit the north pole en- route,
hence a stage line to Great Falls is
regarded as a great convenience and ben
eft to this section.-F'ergus County argus,

Asia Minor for the protection Of her in

their way into the imperial palace to
demand of the sultan their arrears of pay.
They were all arrested and impris sonad.

and sent away from the capital to pre-
vent their complaints from reaching the

THE PROPOSED REDUCTION.

Congressman Townshend Explains the
Forthcoming Administration Bill.
WASHINGTON, December 29.-Congress-
man Townshend of Illinois, speaking of
the administration tariff bill, says: 'sThe
general outline of the bill, on which we
expect harmonious action in the entire
party, is a total reduction of about
$S0,000,000. OF this amount, about
$4,000, 900 will be taken from the tax on
tobacco, and the balance from the tax
list. We are making enough compro-
mise when we give up the tobacco tax,
and we propose to make the other side
advance its side of the compromise from
the tariff. We can make the further nee
essary reduction Of $50,000,000 by plac-
ing salt, coal, iron ore, wool, and a few
other articles on the free list, reducing
the duties on sugar one-half, and cutting
the duties on few other articles. Mr..
Randall says that no arrangement of any
sort has been made between himself and
Mr.. Carlisle. Mr.. Carlisle likewise says
that such rumors are unfounded.

number of years. The Border boys de-
serve rest and can well afford to take
one, being two of the most prosperous of
Gallatln county young men. Besides
raising large crops on their ranch they
haue large number of horses and other
stock, all of which have been accumula-
ted by hard work and steady habits.
These young men offer fair example of
what can be done in this valley by energy
and economy. This year they raised the
largest barley crop grown in the valley, a
crop that averaged them $43 per acre.
From 23 acres they raised S4,120 pounds.
which they sold for $1,2O per hundred
pounds. From 104 acres they raised $3.50
bushels of oats, wheat and barley; their
oat crop averaged 81 bushels per acre.

THE CHILDREN'S CHRISTMAS,
Tree Which Bore Gifts for All
the Young Folks.

Christmas eve was celebrated with
great merriment by the young folks,
their parents and friends who all assem-
bled in the Presbyterian church. The
windows were decorated with green
branches, and near the pulpit stood
genuine Christmas tree, laden with gifts
fer the good boys and girls of the Sun
day school. Wax tapers Illuminated the
tree, whose broad branches extended to
each side Of the church. The exercises
were appropriate to the occasion. They
included a brief address, in the form of
an allegory, by Mr.. Reid, the pastor, rec
itations and singing by the children,
who spoke their pieces and sang their
songs admirably. At intervals hymns
were sung by the ladies and gentlemen
who had kindly volunteered their aid on
this joyous occasion.
At the close of the exercises the tingle
of Santa Claus bells was heard, and soon
Santa Claus himself appeared with his
white beard and snow-crowned cap. His
appearance was the signal for the fun to
begin. The young folks roared as the
venerable patron of childhood appeared
on the platform and distributed apples
among his young friends. Judge Race
and others then awarded the gifts, and
made each child happy with the Christ
mas present reserved for it. The merri-
ment lasted a long while, and the specta-
tors seemed as happy as the children who
gave three hearty cheers for the good
friends who had provided them with the
gifts borne by the Christmas tree

Expensive Hobbies.

One of the curious hobbies of rich men
is that of the Standard oil millionaire
Flagler. 1t is said at Cleveland, whence
Mr.. Flagler comes, that from his earliest
days he has had an ambition to keep a
hotel, and the offspring of this desire
now crops out in the $1,000,000 hotel
which he is now building in Florida.
This hotel is located at Saint Augustine.
1t will cover four acres of ground, and it
makes me think of the palaces of the
Doges at Venice. 1t is the finest hotel in
the United States, but Flagler is said to
be worth at least $25.00O,000, and he can
afford it. .Erastus Corning's hobbies are
butterflies and orchids. He has one of
the largest collections Of butterflies in
the United States. There are $4,000 of
them, and he has been fifteen years gath
ering them together
